Top University Stole Millions From Taxpayers By Faking Global Warming Research

A
global warming research center at the London School of Economics got
millions of dollars from UK taxpayers by taking credit for research it
didn’t perform, an investigation by The Daily Mail revealed.

The UK government gave $11 million dollars to the Centre for Climate
Change Economics and Policy (CCCEP) in exchange for research that the
organization reportedly never actually did.

Studies that receive financial support from the public sector don’t
have to disclose it as an ethical conflict of interest, even when that
support is in the millions of dollars. Recent studies in the U.S. —
which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) uses to support the
scientific case for its Clean Power Plan — saw the agency give $31.2 million, $9.5 million, and $3.65 million in public funds to lead authors, according to EPA public disclosures.

The author who received $3.65 million, Charles Driscoll, even admitted to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that
the result of his study was predetermined, saying “in doing this study
we wanted to bring attention to the additional benefits from carbon
controls.”
Universities typically received about 50 percent of the money their
researchers get in public funds if their investigations find positive
results, making them deeply dependent upon federal funding and likely to
encourage studies that will come to conclusions the government wants.
